FuryCell Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Hi, when I open it, nothing happens.It shows up in the task manager but it doesn't do anything there is no kind of interface or anything.How am I supposed to use this to prevent unwanted programs from starting when windows starts up?I put it in the startup folder also, but it still doesn't do anything at all.What does is wait for a modification to be made to your startup and pops up a msgbox asking if you to allow or deny it.

What this program does is blocks new startup programs. it does not remove ones added before the install. you may want to take a look at Autoruns HKTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeLyricToy:Softpedia | GoogleCodeRCTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeMichtaToolsProgrammer n. - An ingenious device that turns caffeine into code.

amanda089 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 FYI, there are at least 6 places on WinXP that can autostart a program HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup C:\Documents and Settings\***Username***\Start Menu\Programs\Startup autoexec.bat win.ini Those are the main startup entries. Here are the more specialized ones: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\StartupPrograms HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amanda089 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the information. this may prove useful when I get around to coding a new version.By default BootExecute has one item that is part of windows (checks the HDs for errors), the user of your program shouldn't be able to modife that entry.
